A Fair Walk

Fair Trade supporters celebrated World Fair Trade Day on 10th May by walking the Fair Trade Way.

In Thornton village

World Fair Trade Day shines a spotlight on the transformative power of the Fair Trade business model and its positive impact on people’s lives and communities.

The walk began in the village of Thornton in Bradford Fairtrade Zone and concluded at Bradford City Hall, where supporters were met by the Lord Mayor of Bradford.
